Towards the end of the week, I finally started learning about Gatsby. Gatsby is a static site generator built with React. I had been meaning to get into it for a long time. My first impression after jumping into the official tutorial is that Gatsby is impressive and naturally uses skills picked up in React development. I even started a repo to store the code and track my progress.

On the Next…

I will continue playing with Gatsby this week. It would be nice to reimplement Dev-eryday to use it at some point. Dev-eryday is currently using Jekyll which has been great, but I never dug into it enough to customize the site. Using the standard Jekyll design has gotten the job done so far, but Gatsby offers a chance to use React and improve the site. Another Gatsby related item I’m excited to get into is GraphQL. GraphQL can act as a data layer for within a Gatsby site.

Dev-eryday

Dev-every is a personal project created by Joshua Niederer to aid in becoming a better software developer. The concept is to develop myself and my skills every day. This site serves to log my efforts and to share knowledge, creations, insights, and whatever else I discover along the way.
